Go tell New Orleans and Trey Flowers that. Allowing blatantly obvious misses to stand is inexcusable if they are actually trying to get things right. Refs need to be fined for this ****. Start lightening their wallets. I figure the amount of 1 playoff check is reasonable per blown call. That **** crew from the Det/KC has 3 easy fines from my memory. 2 from that Dallas game when Garret was flagged for spiking the challenge flag, even though he won it (that ******* ref should really just be fired on the spot).
Since refs are human, and humans make mistakes, they need to start acting like it. Questioning a ****ty call shouldn't always be taken as an insult. Just admit you are wrong and move on. It isn't a failure to admit a mistake was made. Why does the NFL refuse to admit and correct its mistakes in the moment, or do anything to hold the cause of the issue accountable (save some nonsense grading system they rework at playoff time so we can watch ****ty crews ruin even more important games. See: Clete Blakeman).
If players get fined for rightly pointing out the obvious, the refs should get thrown in solitary for life. The players dont directly cost the refs money. Contrarily, how many injuries have you guys seen on plays that never even happened? You know, the old strip sack/incomplete play, they sont blow it dead moat the time, even when obvious to make aure they "get it right." In the ensuing scramble/recovery, a player gets injured making a play that wont count for anything when the booth goes to review.
Defensive backs getting flagged for being in position for a pick, but the wideout initiates a helmet to helmet hit as the cb is making a play on the ball and the offense gets 15 yards and a first down.
This league is run by idiots.
